When screen legend Jack Thompson checked himself into Sydney's St Vincent's Hospital last year, he had no idea how sick he was.
Unbeknown to Jack, his kidneys had failed and he was 48 hours away from death.
Told that he would have to go on dialysis three times a week for five hours, he realised his acting career was in jeopardy.
The film he was about to shoot was set in remote Kakadu, 250 km away from the nearest dialysis unit in Darwin.
It looked like he would have to pull out of the movie — until a big purple truck came to the rescue, a gesture of friendship and respect from the Territory's Indigenous community.

This week's story tracks the fall and rise of Debbie Kilroy — from high security women’s prisoner to high-profile crusading lawyer.
Debbie was sentenced to six years for drug trafficking. She began university studies in jail and made history when she became the first woman with a serious conviction to be admitted as ‘a fit and proper person’ to the bar of Queensland.
Earlier this year, Debbie mounted a spur-of-the-moment crowd-funding campaign to pay off the court debts of Indigenous women incarcerated in Western Australia for defaulting on fines.
The campaign raised over $400,000 and has led to the release of 11 women from prison.

Encouraged by her friends to look for love online, Queensland teacher and mother-of-two Yoshe Taylor swiftly found herself immersed in the stuff of nightmares.
Communications with a man calling himself "Precious Max" led to a visit to see him in Cambodia. When Yoshe cooled on a relationship, her suitor switched tacks and suggested she work with him in an arts and crafts business instead.
The business was revealed to be an international drug smuggling racket that had also ensnared other unsuspecting Australians.
Sentenced to 23 years in a Cambodian prison for unwittingly carrying heroin, Yoshe was helpless and largely forgotten until a group of lawyers teamed up to fight her case.
Six years later, she shares her story for the first time, in a warning to others about the perils of online romance.

Left alone in a Cambodian prison, Australian mother-of-two Yoshe Taylor had all but given up fighting for her release.
"I actually thought the death penalty was a much better idea than being in jail for 23 years," she says.
The local court rejected Yoshe's claims that she was set up by a drug syndicate via a dating website and she was concerned for her children's ongoing welfare.
"I did not want to spend 23 years away from my children… it's just causing them pain, hoping that I'm coming home," she says.
It wasn't until a group of lawyers joined forces that the tide started to turn in Yoshe's favour.
The lawyers discovered that three other Australian victims had been scammed by the same drug syndicate and then released — but that somehow this evidence hadn’t been shared in time to rescue Yoshe from serving six years in jail.
Now back in Australia, Yoshe is sharing her story for the first time, in a warning to others about the perils of online romance.

When he left school at 14, dogged by the crushing assessment from teachers that he was “functioning at the lower level of the dull range”, Gregory had already endured a violent upbringing and months in an orphanage.
At 35, struggling with a lifetime of trauma, he opted to escape into the wild with no desire to return to the society that had failed him so dismally.
In an incredible turnaround, he emerged from the rainforest and gained an undergraduate degree and then a PhD at Southern Cross University.
This powerful story explores how Gregory is now using his voice to help others sleeping rough.
